Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days."

Watch Dogging Wal-Mart (WMT)

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:25:36 GMT

I have to admit, when a firm represents almost 10% of all retail in the US, there is going to be a major spot light on every move the firm makes.

Pulling Out Our Fibonacci Retracement Tools

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:53:30 GMT

While I am still a longer-term bull given the intermediate trend is still up, short-term sentiment has clearly turned negative. My indicator for short-term sentiment is the the 32-day moving average at 1,036 on the S&P 500, which was already breached last week. The intermediate trend support on the other hand is marked by the 130-day moving average, which is currently at about 952. For me to change my longer-term bullish perspective,[More...]

Why Investors Like Walmart (NYSE: WMT)

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 23:48:05 GMT

Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) is the company that Americans have such a remarkable love-hate relationship with. Here's a company that the small, local merchants can't compete with and which leaves a gigantic "asphalt and concrete footprint" wherever it goes. Yet Americans love bargains and they love to stretch their dollars, so WMT is usually on their "to-go" list.[More...]
